It's pretty ridiculous to tout dual SIM support as a key iPhone XS and XS Max selling point when low and high-end Android handsets have offered this “groundbreaking” technology for many, many years.
It's even worse to think you need to live in China to actually be able to slot two physical SIM cards into one of Apple's hot new mobile devices, while the rest of the world is left dealing with a complicated nano-SIM/eSIM setup.
By “rest of the world”, we only mean 10 countries and a grand total of 14 wireless carriers, although if it makes you feel any better, a 15th name should ...Read more ...

The iPhone SE was the best phone Apple ever made, and now it's dead

I only wanted one thing out of 2018's iPhone event: a new iPhone SE. In failing to provide it Apple seems to have quietly put the model out to pasture - and for this I curse them eternally. Because it was the best phone the company ever made.
If you were one of the many who passed over the SE back in 2015, when it made its debut, that's understandable. The iPhone 6S was the latest and greatest, and of course fixed a few of the problems Apple had kindly introduced with the entirely new design of the 6. But for me the SE was a perfect match.
See, I've always loved the iPhone design that...Read more ...

Apple has reportedly picked LG Display as its second maker of flexible OLED displays, according to Korean tech news site ETNews. Rumors of Apple using LG as a possible alternative OLED screen supplier sprung up in June , and today's news cites unidentified sources that claim LG's OLED panels had passed Apple's quality tests recently.
Until now, Samsung has been Apple's sole OLED screen supplier since the iPhone X was introduced in 2017. Samsung, which agreed to provide around 100 million OLED displays in the initial deal, had enjoyed a monopoly, which allowed the company to control...Read more ...

Apple does not seem to mind using leaked photos of the iPhone XS in its official marketing

On August 30, Apple blog 9to5Mac published an official marketing photo of the new iPhone XS and XS Max two weeks before Apple unveiled the new iPhones to the public.
During its keynote presentation on Wednesday, Apple used the same photo of the iPhone XS that was leaked by 9to5Mac, and that same photo is also the first thing you see when you visit Apple.com.
Apple doesn't like leaks, or leakers, so it's strange the company didn't choose another photo for its marketing, as it's a continual reminder that the photos leaked earlier were indeed the real deal.
On August 30, a small blog known...Read more ...

Apple has officially missed the boat on USB-C with this year's iPhones

Apple's latest iPhones, the XS and XR, have been announced, and, once again, Apple has made the incredibly frustrating choice of including a USB Type-A Lightning cable and low-power 5W brick in the box instead of a USB-C cable and charger.
Apple hasn't given an explanation on why it insists on selling its latest, greatest, and, in most cases, $1,000-plus smartphones with the same legacy cable it's been including since Lightning was introduced back in 2012. Maybe it's a simple matter of cost. Maybe the company is afraid of alienating customers with a new, unfamiliar cable.
But USB-C isn't...Read more ...

During Apple's 2018 iPhone keynote on Wednesday, Bethesda's Todd Howard took the stage to show how The Elder Scrolls: Blades will run on the new iPhone XS.

The "iPhone 11" Is FINALLY Here: iPhone XS & iPhone XS Max

Michael Grothaus 14/09/2018 - 8:26am
It's a spec-bumped iPhone X.
Apple today introduced a trio of new iPhones: the iPhone XS, the iPhone XS Max, and the iPhone XR.
The iPhones share some similar characteristics, including an edge-to-edge display, the lack of a Home and Touch ID button, and a Face ID from the camera system.
But there are also several differences in the new iPhones. Here we'll look at the new iPhone XS-the successor to last year's iPhone X.
iPhone XS Specs
Display: 5.8-inch OLED display with a 2436x1125-pixel resolution at 458ppi
